Like many I struggled to feel productive during lockdown until I realised that giving myself a project might actually help keep my mind occupied! To prompt me to get out of bed each day I made a list of the photography techniques I wanted to try, and soon discovered that flexing my creative muscles kept the pandemic blues at bay. There's lots of interesting things around the house and using them to create is good for the soul. I explain the process of making these images at my website.
